What if your dental appointment felt less like a procedure and more like a reset?
In this episode of Wellness Dentistry: Oral Health for Longevity, Dr. Katie To sits down with Dr. Kelly J. Blodgett, a biological and holistic dentist based in Oregon whose approach to patient care is quietly changing what people believe is possible inside a dental practice. His patients fly in from across the country and around the world, and after hearing this conversation, it's easy to understand why.
4 KEY TAKEAWAYS
Feeling heard is part of the healing. Dr. Blodgett's new patients spend their first visit in a dedicated wellness wing, complete with zero-gravity chairs, PEMF therapy, and red light beds, before any dental conversation begins. The goal is simple: get to know the whole person first. When people feel genuinely understood, hope follows. And hope, he explains, is a healing state.
Informed consent should include all your options. Most providers are only legally required to present options they consider reasonable, which often leaves patients in the dark about alternatives. Dr. Blodgett and Dr. Katie believe every patient deserves the full picture so they can make choices that are right for their body and their life.
Your emotional state affects your healing outcomes. Operating from fear, shame, or anger keeps the nervous system in a stress response. Dr. Blodgett shares how his practice is intentionally designed to move patients out of that state and into one where real healing can happen.
A great team is the real magic. Dr. Blodgett flew his entire team to a training retreat nine years ago, and he credits that single investment as a turning point for his practice. Culture, shared mission, and team wellness aren't extras. They're the foundation.

13. The Hidden Link Between Oral Health and Chronic Illness, with Dr. Daniel Pompa
What if the root of your chronic symptoms has been hiding in your mouth all along?
In this episode of Wellness Dentistry: Oral Health for Longevity, Dr. Katie To sits down with Dr. Daniel Pompa, one of the world's leading voices in functional medicine and cellular detoxification. His story isn't just impressive. It's personal. After years of unexplained fatigue, anxiety, insomnia, and gut issues, Dr. Pompa traced the source of his suffering back to improperly removed mercury amalgam fillings. What followed was a decades-long journey from debilitating illness to pioneering one of the most respected root-cause healing frameworks in natural health.
Dr. Katie and Dr. Pompa explore why so many people are still spinning their wheels despite doing all the "right" things, and why the mouth is so often the missing piece.
4 Key Takeaways
"Normal" lab results don't always mean you're well. Hormones and toxins affect how cells function at a level that standard blood work often misses entirely.
Hidden dental infections, including cavitations (pockets of chronic infection where a tooth was removed) and root canals, can quietly fuel systemic inflammation throughout the body.
The upstream/downstream principle: no amount of supplements, hormones, or clean eating can fully heal a body that still has an active toxic source upstream, including in the mouth.
Asking the right questions matters more than running the right tests. History, environment, and dental timeline are essential clues to finding your "perfect storm."
About This Episode
Dr. Katie and Dr. Pompa connect the dots between holistic dental care, biological dentistry, and whole-body wellness in a way that finally makes sense. If you've been told your labs are fine but you still don't feel fine, this conversation is for you. They discuss mercury toxicity, silver amalgam fillings (which contain approximately 50% mercury), cavitation surgery, the oral-systemic connection, and what to look for in a biological dentist who truly understands root-cause care.
12. Oral Health for Longevity: Your Dentist, Your Water, & Your Breath with Happy Life Labs CEO, Brett Harmeling
What if the most overlooked piece of your wellness journey is sitting right in your mouth?
In this episode of Wellness Dentistry: Oral Health for Longevity, Dr. Katie To sits down with Brett Harmeling, founder and CEO of Happy Life Labs, for a conversation that's equal parts honest, eye-opening, and deeply personal. Brett isn't just a wellness expert. He's also Dr. Katie's patient, and his story is one of those that reminds you why getting to the root cause actually matters.
After a serious traumatic brain injury from his years as a competitive athlete, Brett found himself navigating a path through conventional medicine that left him feeling like a stranger in his own body. He made the decision to step away from that path entirely, and what followed was a 15-year journey into functional medicine, red light therapy, structured water, and the kind of whole-body healing that most people never hear about. Today, he's reviewed over 3,000 wellness products and carefully curated only 100 into Happy Life Labs, because integrity and authenticity aren't optional for him. They're the whole point.
Dr. Katie and Brett talk about what it really means when wellness starts in the mouth. They go deep on why biological dentistry and holistic dental care look at the whole person, not just the teeth. And if you've ever wondered whether your water, your air, or even your daily breath practice could be quietly affecting your health, this episode is for you.
4 Things You'll Take Away From This Episode
Your mouth is the gateway. Wellness is wholeness, and what's happening in your oral environment is connected to everything else in your body through fascial tissue, immune response, and more.
Withdrawal is real, and so is the other side. Brett shares what it was actually like to come off SSRIs and Adderall, including the weight gain, brain fog, and the dark stretch before the light came back. His honesty here is rare and worth hearing.
Simple is the starting point. Gratitude. Movement. Clean water. Clean air. Before you buy anything, Brett recommends starting by taking things of your life, starting with your fridge.
11. Dr. Dome: The Oral-Systemic Connection. How Wellness Dentistry Supports Your Overall Health
What if the reason you've tried everything, the supplements, the gut protocols, the functional medicine appointments, and still don't feel like yourself, is actually sitting in your mouth?
That's exactly what Dr. Katie To explores in this episode with one of the most sought-after voices in biological and wellness dentistry, Dr. Dominik Nischwitz, known globally as Dr. Dome. A biological dentist, naturopathic doctor, functional medicine practitioner, and author of It's All in Your Mouth, Dr. Dome has spent over 20 years building the framework for what he calls Biodentistry 3.0, a global standard that merges the highest level of dental craftsmanship with whole-body health optimization.
Wellness dentistry and holistic dental care aren't trends. They're a return to what dentistry was always meant to be, which is medicine for the whole person, starting in the mouth. Gum disease and systemic health, oral bacteria and gut function, jaw inflammation and chronic illness - these connections are real, and they're support by science.
4 Things You'll Take Away From This Episode
Your mouth is upstream from everything. Chronic gut issues, thyroid imbalances, brain fog, skin problems — they may all trace back to silent inflammation in the mouth. Oral health isn't separate from your overall health. It's where it begins.
Root canals and metal restorations deserve a real conversation. Dr. Dome explains that a root canal is essentially a non-living structure in a living body, and even when it looks fine on an X-ray, it can harbor bacteria and trigger low-grade, silent inflammation (ongoing immune activity without obvious symptoms) that affects the whole system. This isn't about fear. It's about having the full picture.
Ceramic implants are no longer science fiction. For patients looking at tooth replacement without titanium (a metal foreign to the body), ceramic implants are now recognized at the highest medical guideline level in Germany, and the protocols behind them are designed to be virtually pain-free and support full, lasting healing.
10. An MD's View: How Your Mouth Affects Your Brain, Body, and Mental Health
What if the key to your brain health, your energy, your chronic pain, and even your mental clarity, was hiding in your mouth?
Dr. Katie To sits down with Dr. Chang Ruan, MD, internal medicine physician, integrative medicine specialist, and founder of Texas Center for Lifestyle Medicine, for a conversation that genuinely stopped her in her tracks. Dr. Ruan grew up watching both worlds, his mother practicing Eastern medicine and acupuncture, his father a research-driven MD, and he never saw them as separate. That foundation shaped everything about the way he practices today.
4 Things You'll Take Away From This Episode
Your mouth is a window to your whole body. The shape of your jaw, the health of your gums (the tissue around your teeth), your bite, and your airway can all point to chronic inflammation, sleep issues, and even neurological patterns, long before a diagnosis is made.
Gum disease isn't just a dental problem. Dr. Ruan shares how periodontal disease (chronic infection in the gum tissue) has been linked to movement disorders, chronic pain conditions like fibromyalgia, and systemic inflammation throughout the body.
Anxiety and depression may have a physical root. Dr. Ruan reframes anxiety as "a sequence of unmade decisions" and depression as "a sequence of regrettable decisions," and explains how airway obstruction and structural imbalances in the head and neck can contribute to the patterns we often label as mental health diagnoses.
Your health journey starts with one question. Before labs, before supplements, before any protocol, Dr. Ruan asks every patient: "What does success look like for you?" It's a question most of us have never been asked, and it changes everything.
What's Inside This Episode
Dr. Katie and Dr. Ruan explore what consciousness medicine actually means, and why it's the missing piece in so many wellness journeys. They talk about the undeniable link between oral health and overall health, including how airway issues, teeth alignment, and gum disease can affect posture, breathing, pelvic floor function, chronic pain, and even how we think and feel.
9. Cavitation Surgery, Gut Health & Whole-Body Healing: A Real Patient Story with Dr. Katie To
What if the missing piece of your health puzzle wasn't in your gut, your hormones, or your bloodwork, but in your jaw?
That's exactly what happened to Hamid. He spent nearly a decade working with functional medicine practitioners, running every lab test imaginable, and doing protocol after protocol, only to keep cycling back to the same symptoms. Fatigue. Brain fog. Gut issues that would improve then return. Something was still hiding.
It wasn't until he found biological dentistry, and Dr. Katie's two-hour comprehensive evaluation, that the final piece revealed itself: cavitations. Two sites of infected, unhealed bone left over from wisdom tooth extractions done fifteen years earlier.
4 KEY TAKEAWAYS
Your mouth may be the missing root cause. Cavitations, areas of infected, poorly healed jawbone, can have systemic effects on energy, sleep, digestion, and more, even when every other lab panel looks clear.
Preparation changes everything. Hamid spent months clearing detox pathways, supporting adrenal health, and timing his supplements before surgery.
The body communicates during healing. Under local anesthesia, Hamid experienced an immediate surge of energy the moment each site was cleared, feeling like a circuit reconnecting after years of disruption.
Healing is top-down, inside-out. Environment first, sinuses next, dental health, then gut. Getting the sequence right is what makes protocols actually stick long term.
ABOUT THIS EPISODE
Dr. Katie To is a biological and cosmetic dentist who believes your mouth is a window to your whole body. In her practice, she combines modern dental science with a whole-body, root-cause approach to holistic dental care, because lasting wellness starts with asking better questions.

8. The Team Behind the Care: How a Wellness Dental Practice Really Works
Season 3 · Episode 8
Saturday, April 5, 2025 • Duration 19:33
🔗 Learn more at thewellnessdentist.com
When you walk into a truly holistic dental practice, you feel it before anyone says a word. The energy is calm. The team knows your name. Everyone in the room seems to actually care. That's not an accident. It's a decision that gets made every single day.
In this episode, Dr. Katie To pulls back the curtain on the human side of her wellness practice and sits down with the woman who helps make it all run, Dawn Miller. Dawn has been with Dr. Katie since 2015, has worn nearly every hat in the practice, and now serves as COO and team leader. She also coaches dental practices across the country, teaches online and in person, and somehow still makes time for a morning routine that would make a wellness coach proud.
4 KEY TAKEAWAYS
The team you feel is the team that was chosen with intention. Dawn shares how she hires for character first, skills second, because a good heart can't be trained but a billing system can. When a patient feels genuinely cared for, it's because that value was a hiring requirement.
A wellness team lives what they teach. Dawn starts every day with hydration, movement, and personal development, and sees both a functional chiropractor and a naturopath quarterly. The same whole-body awareness Dr. Katie brings to patient care runs through the entire practice.
Communication inside the practice shapes the experience you have as a patient. Dawn talks candidly about emotional intelligence training, how the team learns to communicate with each other, not just with patients, and why that difference shows up in every single appointment.
The best wellness practices invest in people, not just protocols. Dr. Katie and Dawn agree: if your team isn't growing, neither is your patient care. Growth here means personal development, mindset, and learning to show up with real energy every day.
ABOUT THIS EPISODE
What does holistic dental care actually look like from the inside? It looks like a team that was hired because of who they are, not just what they know. It looks like a COO who takes her own supplement protocol and sees a naturopath. It looks like a practice culture grounded in wellness dentistry, where the connection between oral health and overall health isn't just something you talk about with patients. It's something everyone lives.
7. Oral Health, Whole-Body Wellness, and the Power of a Purpose-Driven Dentist
What does it actually take to show up as your best self, for your patients, your family, and your own health?
In this episode of Wellness Dentistry: Oral Health for Longevity, Dr. Katie To sits down with high performance coach Dr. Emily Letran for a conversation that goes way beyond the dental chair. They talk about what it really means to take care of yourself so you can take care of others, and why that connection matters more than most people realize.
Dr. Katie has always believed that whole-body wellness starts with the person in front of you, not just their teeth. And what Dr. Letran brings to this conversation is the framework behind that belief: clarity, courage, and the kind of daily intention that makes real transformation possible.
If you've ever walked into a dental appointment and felt like something deeper was being seen, chances are your provider has done some of this inner work themselves.
4 Key Takeaways
You can't pour from an empty cup. Dr. Katie and Dr. Letran both agree: a provider who takes care of themselves shows up differently for their patients. That energy is real, and you can feel it.
Clarity changes everything. Knowing your values, your goals, and your "why" isn't just good advice for dentists. It's the foundation of any wellness journey, including yours.
Three things beats ten every time. Instead of an overwhelming to-do list, Dr. Letran recommends choosing just three meaningful priorities each day. Simple, doable, and surprisingly powerful.
Authenticity is the real treatment plan. When your provider has walked their own wellness path, they meet you where you are. No lecturing, no judgment, just genuine guidance rooted in real experience.
About This Episode
Holistic dental care is about so much more than clean teeth. It's about the relationship between your oral health and your overall health, and the kind of provider who sees that connection clearly.
6. Wellness Dentistry, Mercury Toxicity & Whole-Body Healing with Dr. Teresa Scott
Season 2 · Episode 6

What if the very profession you dedicated your life to was also quietly making you sick?
That's the question Dr. Teresa Scott had to face, and her answer changed everything, not just for her own health, but for the patients and dentists she now leads toward a better way.
In this deeply personal and eye-opening episode of the Wellness Dentistry: Oral Health for Longevity Podcast, Dr. Katie To sits down with her mentor, best friend, and longtime CE partner, Dr. Teresa Scott, a leading biological dentist based in Houston, Texas. Together, they pull back the curtain on what biological and holistic dental care actually looks like, why conventional dentistry keeps missing the root cause, and what it really takes to get well and stay well.
Dr. Teresa's story is not a simple one. She's a stage four cancer survivor who was given a year to live and a 1% chance of survival. She chose a different path, and she's here to share what that journey has taught her.
4 Things You'll Take Away from This Episode
🦷 Biological dentistry is just good dentistry. It's not woo, it's not a trend. It's about asking why, addressing root cause, and making sure the work you do lasts because your whole body supports it.
☠️ Mercury toxicity is real, and it's closer than you think. Dr. Teresa shares her personal mercury detox journey, why it's still ongoing, and why protecting your body from toxic exposure starts in the dental chair.
🔗 Your mouth is connected to everything. Gum disease, heart disease, diabetes, stroke. These aren't separate conversations. They're the same conversation, and it starts with oral health.
🌿 Healing is a journey, not a destination. Whether you're a patient navigating your own wellness path or someone looking for a provider who truly sees you, this episode will help you trust your gut, ask better questions, and take one meaningful step forward.
About This Episode
Dr. Katie and Dr. Teresa cover a lot of ground together, from the Weston A. Price Foundation and the history of biological dentistry, to ozone therapy, IV vitamin C, PEMF, hyperbaric oxygen, and what it means to practice, and live, with authenticity. They talk about the fertility struggles that silently affect so many female dental professionals, the importance of finding a provider who is genuinely committed, not just credentialed, and why your gut feeling about your care team is worth listening to.

Episode 5 | What's Really Living in Your Mouth? Biological Hygiene & Your Whole-Body Health
Wellness Dentistry: Oral Health for Longevity with Dr. Katie To
Here's something most people have never been told at a routine dental visit: the bacteria in your mouth don't stay in your mouth.
In this eye-opening episode, Dr. Katie To sits down with Frances Horning, a certified biological hygienist with over 37 years of experience, international speaker, and one of the most respected trainers in the world of holistic dental care. Together, they pull back the curtain on what biological hygiene actually looks like, what's living in your biofilm, and why a "just a cleaning" mindset could be costing you your long-term health.
If you've ever left a dental appointment feeling like something was missing, this episode is for you.
4 Key Takeaways
Your gum health is your body's health. Pathogens like spirochetes, amoeba, and trichomonads found in the oral biofilm have been linked to systemic inflammation and conditions far beyond the mouth, including Alzheimer's disease.
Seeing is believing. Biological hygiene uses chairside microscopy to show patients exactly what's living in their mouth, in real time. When patients see it, they own their health in a completely new way.
Ozone isn't just a buzzword. Medical-grade ozone water, laser therapy, herbal rinses, and targeted probiotics work together to treat the root cause of disease, not just remove calculus.
Natural support works. Oregano oil, olive leaf, aloe vera, colloidal silver, CoQ10, and systemic probiotics are among the evidence-backed tools biological hygienists use to reduce pathogenic load without disrupting the body's natural microbiome.
What You'll Hear in This Episode
Dr. Katie and Frances cover the full picture of what a biological hygiene appointment actually feels like, from pH testing at the start to reviewing a live microscope slide at the end. Frances shares the story of a patient who couldn't clear a persistent parasite, and how they traced it back to her cat's water bowl. That story alone will change how you think about reinfection and whole-body detective work.

Dawn brings a rare combination of practical wisdom and genuine warmth to this conversation.

Whether you're a patient curious about what sets a wellness practice apart, or someone who's felt that intangible difference walking into a room and wondered where it comes from, this episode will answer that question beautifully.

Dr. Katie To has built her practice around that philosophy. As a biological and cosmetic dentist focused on wellness dentistry, she asks the questions that go deeper: How are you sleeping? What's going on in your body? How do you feel? That whole-person approach to oral health isn't accidental. It comes from years of personal work, coaching, and a commitment to showing up fully, for herself and for every patient she serves.
In this conversation, Dr. Letran, a high performance coach who has worked with dentists and professionals across industries, shares the tools she uses to help high achievers find focus, beat burnout, and create lives they actually love. Her philosophy mirrors what Dr. Katie brings to integrative dental care: when you're well, you help others get well too.
For patients who value prevention, whole-body wellness, and genuinely personalized care, this episode is a window into the mindset behind the practice you love.

This is wellness dentistry and oral health the way it was always meant to be practiced: personalized, root-cause focused, and deeply connected to how your entire body feels.
As Frances puts it, the mouth is attached to the body. It always has been. Biological hygiene just treats it that way.
You cannot have a healthy body without a healthy mouth.
